Do you have ambition, leadership experience and a strong professional background? You could study for a master’s degree in Sweden on a fully-funded Swedish Institute scholarship. Find out if you can apply.

No, unfortunately that’s not possible. We can only accept candidates who are citizens of one of our programme countries: Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine (Palestinian ID holders, including Jerusalem ID), Syria, Tunisia, Yemen and Sweden. As mentioned on our website we are not able to make any exceptions to the eligibility requirements, or temporarily consider a new country. At this point we do not have any plans to add any new countries.

You need to submit it through our online application portal, http://applications.si.se. We do not accept applications sent to us via email. A complete application consists of the application form and a CV, both of which should be uploaded to our online applications portal.

If you’re born between January and September, you need to add a zero in front of the number of the month. The same goes for the day, if it’s lower than ten. If your birthday is 5 January 1990, you would then have to write 1990-01-05.

If the status of your application on the portal is “submitted” and you have received a registration number, everything is alright regardless of whether you’ve received a confirmation email or not. The problem usually occurs if you’re using Gmail or if many people are submitting an application at the same time. Please also check your spam folder.

Make sure you have created a “New User”. If you have applied before, you need to have the correct password for your username. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it by clicking on one of the buttons that says “Forgotten password”.

No, we don’t give priority to any specific kind of initiative – it all depends on the quality and potential of business and the profile of the candidate. We accept candidates with all sorts of different initiatives. All applications are assessed according to the following criteria:

The potential of your social business initiative.

Your drive, motivation and commitment, as well as your answers to the questions of the She Entrepreneurs application form.

An assessment of your CV.

Please note that it is important that you have started working on your initiative in some way.

Yes, the programme is fully funded by the Swedish Institute. All expenses related to accommodation, meals and travel expenses are covered.
